After scoring nearly 90 yards from scrimmage in just two quarters to start Sunday’s match, star Minnesota Vikings suffered a groin injury on a third-quarter catch as Dalvin Cook ran back.
He underwent an MRI on Monday, according to Vikings coach Mike Zimmer.Went very well“We’ll see how he does it this week,” Zimmer followed, but later reports were more encouraging, showing that Cook Avoid major injuryHowever, the team can be cautious of playing 0-5 against the Falcons in Week Week and 7 in Weekly. And while it seems clear what will happen, now the prospects of leaning towards Cook are sitting to enjoy against the Atlanta Falcons. The remaining two weeks, per Adam Shafter of ESPN.
Since Cook is the center of the crime, the Vikings do not want to take any chances on his health.
The injury initially forced Cook to leave Sunday’s game and undergo a locker-or-evaluation, driving backup Alexander Mattison back to No. 1 for the Vikings, who considered Cook suspicious of a return. The pro bowler, in fact, returned to the side – and then to the field – later in the third quarter, but not for long. Mattis quickly resumed the full workload, with Cook returning to the side after just one more game. Coach Mike Zimmer said later Cook could not play due to injury. If he has to lose time, he assumes that Mattison will lead Michael Boone behind him to the backfield.
A 1,000-yard breakout rusher in 2019, Cook fell in love Sunday night as the NFL’s leading ball-carrier in four weeks, with 424 yards and six touchdowns to his name. The five-year resh $ 5 million contract contract was extended in September, has been at the center of crime in Minnesota for the past two years, and made more than 13 career touchdowns in 2019.
Injuries, however, are no stranger to the 25-year-old back. Cook lost 19 combined games between 2017 and 2019, including 12 in form and five in his sophomore season. If he misses more time at the Vikings’ backfield, the team will rely on 22-year-old former third-rounder Mattison, as well as Mike Boone and P full fullback CJ Hamm.
